Use Word's Mail Merge feature. There is an option as you work through the s=
tep-by-step to select Email messages as your document type. The mail goes o=
ut individually, so email addresses of other recipients aren't visible.

Subject: [mso] Sending mass email to entries in an Excel contacts spreadshe=
et

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way to send a massive email to my=
 contact database, currently entered in an Excel spreadsheet.  I have colum=
ns dedicated for people's names, organizations, job titles, and email addre=
sses.  When I send a mass email, I need their addresses listed in paragraph=
 form, separated by commas.

The way I've done this is concatenate a column of cells containing commas w=
ith the email cells, paste/transpose the emails/commas from a column to a r=
ow, paste the row of email addresses into a new spreadsheet, save the new s=
preadsheet as a CSV, open the CSV using Notepad, and (finally) copy the not=
epad contents into my recipient list.

Is there an easier way to do this that I'm not aware of?  Thanks.
